Ante And Lock Pleasant.

Under the above head the San Fran
cisco Examiner of Sunday says:
Mr.. De Young backs down. He de
clines to match 6oth'his presses against
one of the Examiners for $25, 900 side
Mr.. De Young, it appears, didn't mean
it when he professed willingness to
risk his money. He proposed n condi-
ton which absolutely insured him
against losing. The condition was that
accidents shoulI be barred. This pro-
viso wns equivalent to asking ns to
agree that he be allowed to omit the
contest Whenever he fonnd himself in
danger Of defeat.
The Examiner responded to Mr.. De
Young's offer to bet $685. on the ca
pncity nf his presses by placing that
sum OF money in the Nevad" Bank, and
inviting him to cover it. This he has
prudently refr lin, from doing.
Il is too bad that the orphans Of San
Francisco should ne deprived of $25, 900
Of Mr.. De Young'+ money. We should
like them to get it, and g. it in time
for Christmas. To this end we make
supplementary propo 'it;on: II Mr..
De Young will waive his preposterous
accident proviso and buok his presses
on, their working merits, we shall at
once beHtow upon the orphan asylums
of the city $12,5OO, providing Mr.. De
Young will contribute like amount;
the loser, when the press contest comes
of, to reimburse the winner.

Monkeys in Red Caps.

There are no animals about which so
many stories have been told as the mon
key. Most OF the stories are based on the
monkeys power of imitation. A Spanish
mule driver once invested his scant earn
ings, purchasing number of red woven
caps which form the crown of the turban
worn throughout Turkey and Africa, and
set out to make his fortune in the inte-
rior. He started before sunrise, and when
the heat of the day came on, lay down to
sleep beneath tree in wood. Taking
off his hat he opened his valise, and put
ting on red cap, was soon asleep. When
the sun was low in the horizon he woke.
and to his horror, saw the trees filed with
monkeys in red caps. They had seen the
Spaniard put on the red cap before 60
ing to sleep, and followed his example.
The poor Spaniard, with all the gesticu-
lations peculiar to his country, cursed his
hard fate, stamped his foot in anger and
tore off his red cap and threw it on the
ground, when blessed and unexpected
resultl-all the monkeys followed his ex-
ample. He picked up his caps and moved
on.

lows of the organ he was playing. What
he said it is almost impossible to tell you,
for he talks faster than almost any bird
that flies, and runs his words together as
have heard school children sometimes; a
habit well enough for birds, but very
bad for readers and speakers. Many
writer's have tried to initiate his song.
Bryant and Irving both gave him prom
inent place in their written picture gal
leries. When was boy on farm we
used to call him the complaining bird,
and as we read his song he said: "Dig
a hole, dig hole, put 1t in, put it in,
covert up, covert up, stamp ont, stamp
ont, step along" He wore his rarti-col-
ored suit, the main portion genteel
black, little whitish yellow powder in
his hair as if he had poked his head into
lily sometime and carried away the pol
len, and shoulder strap OF the same on
each side of his neck, proving him a
brigadier in the army of peace. In the

Sagacity of Dogs.
on.

We are frequently called upon to
wonder at powers possessed b, animals
and not shared by man. The homing of
carrier pigeons, which take straight
course hundreds of miles through the
air; the tracking Of persons by blood
hounds; the instinct of ducks for the
water, even some young ones whose
brains had been removed, swimming with
ease when. after that operation, they were
placed in the water for the first time in
their lives-all these are facts at which
we marvel. But the great distinguish
ing characteristic that separates man
from the brute creation is reason, and oc-
casionally an incident occurs that al
most forces us to concede to some ami.
mails even that faculty. The London
Times relates, an authe nticated case of a
wounded collie being recently brought to
the Kings Cross hospital by two terriers.
The latter barked until the doors were
opened, and then went away after the
wounded dog was in the surgeons care.
The dogs seemed to have observed that
injured persons were brought to this
hospital; to have inferred that they were
brought for treatment; to have reasoned
that as injured men were taken care of,
so injured dogs might be provided for;
and then applied the general rule to their
own patient.

Why the Dog Wouldn't Eat.

1t is related by Prot Bell that, when a
friend of his was travelling abroad, he one
morning took out bis purse to see if it
contained sufficient change for days
jaunt he intended making. He depart
ed from his lodgings, leaving a trusted
dog behind. When he diIed, he took
out his purse to pay, and found he had
lost gold coin from it. On returning
home in the evening, his servant inform
ed him that the dog seemed very ill, as
they could not induce him to eat any
thing. He went at once to his favorite;
and as soon as he entered the room the
faithful creature ran to him. deposited
the gold coin at his feet, and then de-
voured the food placed for him with great
eagerness. The truth was that the gen.
tleman had dropped the coin in the morn
ing. The dog had picked it up and kept
it in his mouth, fearing even to eat lest
he should lose his masters property be-
fore an opportunity afforded to restore
it.-Chambers' Journal.

DAVIS DIALOGUE.

Davy knew just what was the right
thing to do, but he would not confess
that it was the only right thing. There
was the empty wood box. His mother
was with sick Mrs. jerks. She would
come at five and have the wood to bring
in herself.
"Father told me to meet him at the
store ct two" said Davy to conscience.
"But you know he told Mr.. Kane after
ward, that with the tired horse, he could
hardly get there before 230, and you
can fill this box in ten minutes" said
conscience to Davy.
"Well, / don't want to fill that box,
and I'll get no credit if I do. Mother'll
think father filled it for her. I've done it
lots OF times, and had no notice taken of
it."
This brought down a storm upon
Davy's head.

the clothes she makes and mends? How

Bobolink Music.

Robert-of- Lincoln came. Bobolink is
a very dandy looking fellow, proud as
belle who has danced with the Prince of
Wales or the Duke Alexis. He has a
habit OF singing his rafting notes in the
air, and lowering until his rollicking solo
is finished; or, il he commences his song
on stake or tree. he never rises until the
music Is completed. When Bob had
nearly reached the tree his mouth opened,
and he threw out notes without measure,
rapid and juggling as a sleigh-bell waltz.

81 SAY WHAT | THINK.
BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.

81 say what think, says the valiant man,
With voice and a look of daring,
Determined to act on selfish plan,
And for nobody's comfort caring
81 say what think; T" and at every chance
This impulse of his obeying,
IT'S plain to be seen at single glance
He doesn't think what he's saying.
oh, many an arrow will reach tic heart
For which it was never intended,
If a careless marksman wings the dart,
And the hurt can never be mended;
And many friendship may be lost,
And many love.link broken,
Because of neglect to count the cost
OF words that are lightly spoken.
81 say what think. +" Ahl the truly great
Who give their wisdom expression
In chosen phrases, would hesitate
To make such rash confession.
For think what injuries might be wrought,
What evils we could not smother,
If everybody said what they thought
Without regard to each otherl
To say what you think is a noble thing
When Jour voice for the right is needed,
Te speak out your mind with royal ring
When order and law are impeded;
But the evil thoughts that flow through the
brain
And the heart should be retarded,
For we lessen the tide of grief and pain
When our speech is carefully guarded.
You may think what you choose, nor give
offence
Be traitor, and not display it;
And if you're deficient in common.sense,
BY silence you'll not betray it.
And let it be written in blacklist ink,
For the good of each son and daughter,
That those who always say what they think
Are most of the time in hot water.

Every inspiration of the lungs, every pulse

ABOUT BIRDS AND ANIMALS.
Swift Birds.

Thomas Alexander, in his book entitled
"Game Birds of the United States" says
that wild ducks, unaided by the wind, fly
from sixty to one hundred miles an hour,
and that the blue winged teal, "going
down the wind at the top of his speed,
will make fully one hundred and fifty
miles an hour, possibly more" The swift
est bird on the wing is the frigate bird,
a sort OF nautical bird of prey. Sailors
believe that it can start at the peep of
dawn from the coast of Africa, and fol-
lowing the trade winds, land on the Amer.
lean coast before sunset. 1t can un-
doubtedly fly two hundred miles an hour,
but we do not know of any trustworthy
record of the speed of which it is capa-
